Board 8 > Days Gone - Does it get better?

(+) Yeah! (+)

So the developer is in the news these days for complaining about the different perceptions of this game and GOT. Talk about that if you want.

But also, I'm actually trying to play this game right now and I totally get why people don't like it. All the characters are extremely unlikable, to the point of me thinking this is meant to be a parody.

As an open world game, the environments feel really closed off, despite it taking place in the woods, and there's not really freedom of choice here; you're pretty much railroaded from one mission to the next.

Always divisive game critic Tim Rogers alluded to actually liking this game in the 8 hour Cyberpunk review, and I can't tell if he's doing a bit or if this game actually gets good at some point.

anyways, tell me your thoughts on Days Gone and tell me if I should keep playing this game, which has been unpleasant so far

I did all achievements for it too. Personally I liked it. But I am easily pleased.

I stopped about 8 hours in. Cant vouch for the rest of the game but it felt like a chore most of the time than a way to pass time and be entertained.

I stopped pretty quickly in it. Got it for free, and still have little to no interest in it. And it seems like it's a game that would appeal to me too!

I liked it well enough, the hordes are quite fun and personally I think Sam Witwer turns in a great performance as Deacon. Actually unstable PTSD post apocalyptic biker man is a fun gimmick.

But it goes on for too long and is rife with standard open world gameplay.

I highly enjoyed the game throughout and I think it definitely gets better as it goes on, especially by mid-late game where the hordes and storyline start getting genuinely intense. Like it's a pretty cheesy story for sure but I found it rather endearing all the same. And riding the motorcycle through the apocalyptic wasteland never really got old for me, it was really all I wanted from the game and in that it delivered highly.

It takes too long to get going, but it improves.
